Scholarship Exam Details

The Sitaram Jindal Foundation (SJF) is one of the very few private foundations in India that still follows a robust offline and online selection model. For 2026, SJF offers six distinct scholarship categories (A to F), ranging from Class 11 to Post-graduation. The scholarship provides monthly stipends from ₹500 to ₹3,200. A unique highlight for 2026 is the "Niche Scheme" focus, which includes Category D (for Physical Handicapped students) and Category F (for Wards of Ex-servicemen/Widows). These niche schemes offer a 5-10% marks relaxation compared to the general category, ensuring that disadvantaged groups have an equal shot at funding. SJF is famous for its "Last-Mile" verification; they often send field officers to verify the student's home and college attendance. The scholarship is strictly for those who are not receiving any other government or private aid, acting as a primary source of funding for the truly needy
